Like other reviewers I was so frustrated with the small amount of information for using flower essences for animals. If you could find it only some of the essences were given for certain emotional problems. I have a dog who was snapping at family members without provocation and without warning. He does have hip dysplasia so I attributed it to pain. I tried to minimize his pain with a joint care supplement, occasionally aspirin, and I tried behavioral training, nutritional supplements, nothing had an effect on his unprovoked snapping. Finally I found this book which had complete information on flower essenses so I decided to try them. So far it's been eight months since he started on them and no episodes of snapping since! This book goes over each flower essence, what it can be used to treat, what are some of the symptoms shown by animals that need these essences, which ones can be used together and how to administer them. If you are having a behavior problem with your pet and you have ruled out a physical illness as a cause check out this book. It is an invaluable reference and it may lead you to the answer to your problem.

Our family has been using the Bach Flower Remedies for over five years, and I credit them for helping us get over the trauma of a horrible auto accident. The Bach Flower remedies are a group of 38 flower essences that help adjust negative emotional states. We can attest to their potent effects. However, to support our animals, we have had to cobble bits of information together from an array of natural health books for animals, and fill in the blanks from what we could project from guides to people use. This book addresses the use for animals, remedy by remedy, in layers we had not imagined.

It is a really easy to follow guide, and is especially useful to help decide which of the "similar" essences are needed. There is also good advice on how to adnimister them. We have really enjoyed this book

very comprehensive and highly informative, enjoyable to read, great cross reference and index, covers many species, gives details on indications for use and what to expect. Flowere essences can give be an effective solution for many pet owners who are struggling with behavioral problems Highly recommended ******

Each of the Bach Flower Essence remedies is described in a section in this book. Following the general description is a section describing the behaviors and characteristics of various species (horse, dog, cat, bird, etc) which are particularly helped by the remedy, along with suggestions for other Flower Essences to use or combine. This is the first book that I turn to when I'm working to select a Bach Flower Essence remedy, because it focusses so well on *animal* issues.

I have used Bach Flower remedies on myself with great success, so I became interested in trying them on our cat. She is a very nervous animal and spends lots of time just hiding. I read this book cover to cover and it gave me some ideas for how to treat her. She is definitely better since I began adding a drop or two of a remedy to her drinking water.

The book begins with chapters on what Bach Flower remedies are and why they are appropriate for animals. This is followed by an alphabetical list of all the remedies and conditions they may benefit. It is all very easy to understand.

A very useful book.

I have been working with the Bach flower and other homeopathic remedies for as long as I am able to remember. Like other reviewers have said, I have had to try to modify treatments from the books for humans to animals. Most of the time it was ok, but not always. This book has been wonderful.

I personally do not agree with the forward written by the doctors saying that animals do not have feeling, but instead act and react according to instinct and animalistic behavors. I have been working with animal communicators for years to know this is not true. They do to have feeling just as you and I do. Anyway, outside of the intro, the book is wonderful and I have bought it for my vet who works with herbs and Rescue remedy and some friends as well. So all in all. . .I highly recommend the book!

This is the best book than I see about Bach Flower Remedies for animals. She's easy to understand and clearly in hers explanations. It's a pocket guide for all days.

I absolutely love this book. As a Naturopathic Doctor, I use the Bach Flower Remedies alot not only for people, but recently I've started working with animals and their owners to help them get along better. This book is a staple in my personal library and I refer to it often. It is very easy to understand and comprehend, both for the novice beginner and for someone who is at the Practitioner level.

This was a great book. If you are looking for ways to help your pet feel better, this is the book. It works with helping them emotionally. I use many of the suggestions in this book and they work! I would recommend this if you are into holistic healing methods for animals.

Somewhat different but we have used these remedies with our pets for nearly 15 years and they are more effective on them than on people. Try using Rescue Remedy on your pets when they are going through something stressful like going to the vet and watch them calm down. Pets don't have all of the barriers that people do. This is a great book with an author who knows this topic.
